2/9 users, becoming a model of great acceptance in the sectorial market.

Layout history [005] The windows are indispensable items for the passenger compartment in any land, rail or nautical vehicle, as it allows the passenger to observe the external environment, feel the wind breeze and even, minimize the claustrophobic effect that it would cause to the occupants , if there were no windows.

[006] Vehicles, specifically automobiles, are equipped with windows that move downwards or upwards, to open or close, but there are also in other types of vehicles, such as collectives, sliding window systems that open and close horizontally.

[007] In the case of sliding vehicle windows that open horizontally, the technology used consists of moving the glass, with or without a frame, by means of a lower or upper rail or channel, generally incorporated into the vehicle's wrapping structure, whose sealing is made by a device made up of small bristles, similar to a brush, positioned in the channel and next to which the glass slides.

[008] Tilting windows are also known. These window models have a tilting opening and closing movement, are equipped with hinges on one side and on the opposite side it has a latch that allows it to be locked in the closed or open position.

Deficient points of the state of the art [009] The drawback of these window models is the inefficiency in sealing against dust and water, which,

3/9 due to the design, they are unable to prevent the entry of these elements into vehicle interiors with the desired efficiency, whose efficiency is degraded by use and over time.

[010] Another drawback related to these windows is the high weight, also due to the project, which imposes the use of gutters and channels.

[011] The state of the art includes many models of sliding windows, with different movement systems, however the window that is presented is characterized by a sealing technology against dust and water that is embedded in the window housing as if it were a hatch and fits by mechanical interference, a condition that is not found in other window models.

[012] Therefore, the technical condition of occlusion or closing of the window alone sets it apart from other windows on the market and, naturally, for all its construction technology that brings comfort and safety.

[013] The window, now in question, still stands out from other market models due to its reduced weight and the absence of conventional gutters and channels and also due to the reduction of materials in its construction, simplicity in the opening and excellent insulation tightness.

Summary of the provision [014] For the convenience of the market and for the purpose of technical improvement in the construction of a sliding vehicular window that has an excellent sealing system and functionality in the condition of opening and closing, the inventor, a person related to the branch, has a notorious sectorial knowledge, to create and develop the object of this patent, PROVISION
